Welcome!

Troop 54 has been in existence for over 10 years. We are based out of Yorktown, Virginia. There are about 35 boys in the troop at this time from 11 to 17 years of age. We also have 9 adult leaders. The youth are divided amongst smaller groups called patrols. Each patrol has its own Boy Scout leader. The patrol leaders are older scouts who are selected by their scouting experience and leadership skills. We meet every Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 8:00 PM at Kirkwood Presbyterian Church on Route 17 across from the YMCA, usually 20 – 25 scouts are in attendance. During our meetings we learn scout skills, discuss topics, play games that are scout focused, plan for outings and work on rank advancement and merit badges. Four times a year we have a Court of Honor. This ceremony is held to recognize individuals for their achievements in scouting.
We go on weekend outings at least once a month. In the winter months we are a bit flexible due to the weather. Sometime we will plan an indoor outing if the weather is extremely harsh.

During the spring and summer we camp in tents. These outdoor adventures, allow the scouts to experience the marvels of nature and learn about life away from civilization. Every summer we also go to summer camp for a week. This year we are planning to go to Bayport, the Colonial Virginia Council resident camp.

We enjoy getting out and having fun wherever we go. We look forward to every new adventure we undertake.
